Above is one of my favorite pieces from First Thursday last night it's called Little Bear (I think) and it's by Chauney Peck. She has a show at Soil right now. I like her work a lot.... I'm not going to get into some Art Critique about why I like this and why I like that (I sound dumb when I do...)... I just know what pleases me and this does the trick! Chauney's work in general is bright, colorful and whimsical (is that right???)... I just like it.
Jennifer Campbell's show Point No Point is good as well... it got a Stranger Suggests on Slog yesterday. I may be biased because we're friends... it's nice to finally see her work - she was always so busy with other peoples work while she was at Crawl Space I don't think she really had a lot of free time to work on her own.
Overall First Thursday was good. I just wish it would start at 4pm so I could be home at a reasonable hour and not feel like a dud. It's nice to see people I know - It makes me want to make more work... now I just have to find the time... I forgot to hit a few shows while I was there... I'll have to take the bus down to a few shows next week (during lunch).
Last night I was sitting there at Jenn's show and a girl who works in my office building walked in. I introduced myself to her... it turns out that she is an artist that I know of... it's weird when you know of someone and then you see them in a totally different context...
Maybe I'll start a Sunday Potluck for artists... I like potlucks...
Okay, another reason I'm up so early is that I have something going on with my eye. It started hurting last night while I was reading in bed... the other Jen Towner will be happy to know that I was glancing through the Secret... that crazy mumbo jumbo book that I think is a bit strange... well... my eyeball started feeling like I had an eyelash stuck in it... it doesn't - but it still feels like it this morning. I want to take my eyeball out of the socket and rinse it off... argh.
One plus to getting up so early is that I was able to watch Survivor and I know who was voted out last night...
I suppose I could watch Lost right now and be all caught up... I suppose I could go to the gym.. I suppose I could go back to sleep for an hour...
Today I have to work, go to the Chiropractor, and then to Pilates. I also have to get to my studio sometime and pick up supplies for screen printing tomorrow. I'm going to teach my best friends daughter how to do it. I love doing it - it's a lot of fun... and it's easy - and a good skill to have.
Another plus to getting up early is having a lot of extra time to work on your blog posts....
I hope you all have a good day and I hope I can make it to 3:30 pm when I have to leave for my Chiropractic appointment.
